Olympic Tennis: Rafael Nadal set up a meeting with Novak Djokovic at Paris 2024 

29/7/2024,

Rafael Nadal set up a second-round clash with old foe Novak Djokovic at Paris 2024 after winning his first Olympic singles match. 

Spain's 38-year-old Nadal had doubts about whether he would be able to play against Hungary's Marton Fucsovic due to a groin injury. 

But it was enough for the 2008 gold medalist to defeat Fucsovics with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory. 

Nadal, playing at the site of his record 14 men's singles titles, will face Djokovic in the coming days as the pair look to extend their enduring rivalry to a 60th meeting. 

Serbia's 37-year-old Djokovic cruised into the second round with a comfortable victory over Australia's Matt Ebden on Saturday.
